Environmental Policy
Byrkley Garden Centre is a garden centre with a restaurant and various retail outlets who rent space. The Centre is situated in Rangemore near Burton upon Trent.
As a retailer of a wide variety of plants, a large proportion of our products can have
a very positive impact on the environment. At Byrkley Garden Centre we also recognise and accept the need to provide a safe and environmentally responsible managed business.
To this end we will implement an environmental management system and
strive towards adopting best practice.
Our commitment is to:
- Continuously improve our environmental performance and integrate recognised environmental management best practice into our business operations.
- Manage waste generated from our business operations according to the principles of reduction, re-use and recycle.
- Give due consideration to environmental issues and energy performance in the acquisition, design, refurbishment, location and use of buildings.
- Comply with environmental legislation and other relevant requirements.
- Monitor our energy and fuel consumption and where possible improve on efficiencies.
- Ensure continual improvement by including environmental objectives as part of our business strategy.
To meet our commitments we will:
- Communicate internally and externally our environmental policy and performance on a regular basis, and encourage feed back.
- Control and minimise our waste, making full use of available recycling schemes - Recycle Policy
- Actively promote recycling both internally and amongst our customers and suppliers.
- Consider the environmental impact of our purchasing decisions.
- Raise awareness of the environment amongst our employees through briefings and appropriate training to promote best practice.
- Ensure the prevention of pollution.
- Reduce our impact on packaging leaving the business – Carrier Bag Policy
- Review our environmental policy regularly
This statement represents our general position on environmental issues and the policies and practices we will apply in conducting our business.
